Russian tennis player Daniel Medvedev said world No. 1 Jannik Sinner and No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz are benefiting from the quality of their balls at the Shanghai tournament.
Earlier, Medvedev criticized the quality of balls during the Masters Series tournament in Shanghai. In the third round match against Italian Matteo Arnaldi, the Russian rubbed the ball on the back of his shorts, after which he received a penalty point.
— Other players change and receive balls which, as you said, you don’t really like. What changes are you making to make the most of this situation?
“I don’t think anyone changes.” This mainly favors those who can benefit from dead balls. Some people do it better, others don’t. In fact, the two players who are the best at it are already the best in the world… They are the only players capable of generating crazy power. Here are Yannick and Carlos. This gives them an added advantage.
But I try to fight with what I can. We train a lot. I’m trying to gain power that I’ve never had since I was young because of my body type. There were even muscle tests that measured power, explosive strength, and I have no explosive strength. I can generate a lot of energy, for example, when I hit a fly ball, but not when the ball stops. I try to do what I can. “I always play well, I fight and I want to go all the way,” Medvedev said in an on-court interview.
In the next round, Medvedev will face the winner of the match Stefanos Tsitsipas (Greece, 10) – Alexander Muller (France).
